All right, let’s talk about the Memorial Day service at the Cook County courthouse.
It would appear that someone wanted to add, for effect, a facsimile of a bomb crater on the premises to honor our fallen. Or, maybe someone started to dig up a sewer line and quit mid-project when the money ran out.
Surely this was not done by volunteer workers ’cause I know this community has far better talent than what is exhibited here.
Perhaps 28 illegal aliens were brought in from Arizona and told, “Do what you can in 20 minutes and clear out.” No, that’s not fair — it would’ve looked a lot better.
Regardless of how this atrocity came about, it needs, desperately, to be undone. Commissioners, please restore the grounds and lawn to their former self. And cast out the jokers who thought this was a neat idea!
